2011 Map of Kings Valley

About this map

Kings Valley and the surrounding timber and farm country of Benton County are defined by the meandering path of the Luckiamute River in this 2011 survey. The landscape is a network of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, including several historic burial sites such as the Edwards Pioneer Cemetery and Womer Cemetery near the northern boundary. The community of Hoskins sits at the junction of Bonner Creek and the river, anchored by historical sites like Fort Hoskins Rd. Further south, the map reveals modern water management features like the Whispering Winds Dam creating the Lake of the Winds. Education history is preserved through the locations of the Moody School and Alexander School, while agricultural heritage is noted at the Ring Orchard on Dunn Ridge. The area's transition from early pioneer settlement to modern rural life is visible in the mix of old homestead roads and newer reservoirs.
